Just to make it more confusing, I'll add another to the list. Topic Marin Pro mixes really fast.

We are expanding our investigative testing on some of our most popular salt mixes by seeking to answer two questions about how long to mix saltwater. 1. Do salt mixes fully dissolve in less than one hour? 2. Does the speed at which it mixes clear really matter? For those of

Esv fastest I’ve seen. All best when water is up to temp. Lotsa circulation helps too

Esv is fastest, tropic marin is also very fast, under 15 mins to clear.

Fritz or Reef Crystals

Aquaforest claims 15 minutes in their product page, and from my experience that's about right, so long as you pay attention to the temperature requirement. https://aquaforest.eu/en/product/reef-salt/

Yeah I was told fritz reef pro is fast dissolving. Just started my tank with it and find it is fast to dissolve but a little hard to measure properly

tropic marin ( one of the many reasons I switched to it !)

mfinn · Jan 23, 2020

Fastest i have used was omega one premium marine salt. Never found again so only had bought one bucket and moved to a different salt lol.

ESV has 4 components... 2 dry and 2 liquid... add the 2 dry to the RODI container that has a power head for mixing... then add the 2 liquids, and it’s good to go!

Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for 20 years. about 1 hour, to look clear, but if tested, you’ll find no salt dissolves in less then, quite a few hours of mixing. But regardless of how fast it dissolves, you should still airate for a minimum of 12-24 hours, for water to completely oxygenate and equalize.
